[NF] Queries re: Python & Such...

Hey there folks, So, I know there is a Leafe mailing list for Python, as I just looked on the Leafe mailing lists website. But, sadly - unlike this one - it pretty much looks dead. Sad - since I was just beginning to get back into some Python programming again. I did notice that even this forum has gotten to be VERY Quiet. Sad indeed! Truthfully, I have not seriously done any FoxPro since like 2020, and even that was a Small personal project. Last serious work was in like Nov 2017. And, I know that FoxPro usage in general is dying off across the world... Anyway - back to the topic at hand: Python. In my case, I'm actually using the PySimpleGUI to build UI's. Its a project I'm coming back to, as it was mothballed about a year ago - due to a big round of layoffs at the 3D Printing co. where I was working. So - yeah, FYI - I'm back at that co. - they hired me back last year in Oct.! I'm pretty thrilled to be back - especially as it truly is my Dream Job! Anyway - short synopsis of tool I am working on. If someone is printing a REALLY Large print job - which can literally take like 5 days or more to run, problem is - if you get an error on the machine that can not be recovered from. It can be a pretty Epic fail - not only because all the lost hours, but, also costs of filament. For instance - a special filament like Ultem - can run a customer like $750 for 2.5Kg of the stuff. So, if a customer runs a big print job - and they are on the 2nd spool - and printer dies 1/2 way thru that spool - you have essentially thrown like $1100 Down the Toilet! The tool I am creating will essentially take a massive GCode file, and based upon criteria - find out where it left off printing. Then, remove all the lines of code that have already been printed - but, making sure some of the GCode lines at the top, like print temperatures - are still included. Then, it will have proper lines to restart that print job. Anyway - probably TMI in regards to this posting. But, if anyone could point me in the direction of a forum similar to this one - where I could get some help in Python programming - that would be Awesome! Thanks, Kurt

CDO Email
by John＠johnweller.co.uk 24 Feb '23

About 12 years ago I wrote a membership program for a local charity in VFP. It has continued to work with the odd tweak ever since. It uses Microsoft CDO to send emails – I know CDO is obsolete, so is VFP but it works! 😊. The code is below, cribbed from SweetPotatoSoftware many years ago: lcSchema = http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/configuration/ loConfig = CREATEOBJECT("CDO.Configuration") WITH loConfig.FIELDS .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserver") = "smtp.ionos.co.uk" .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpserverport") = 587 .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusing") = 2 .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpauthenticate") = .T. .ITEM(lcSchema + "smtpusessl") = .F. .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendusername") = lcUserName .ITEM(lcSchema + "sendpassword") = lcPassword .UPDATE ENDWITH I have been advised by our email provider that we must upgrade to TLS 1.2. I had hoped that it would be as simple as changing usessl to True but that doesn’t appear to be the case. I am out of my depth having been away from serious programming for many years. Any help or suggestions would be gratefully received! John Weller 07976 393631 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---

Kelly kind of slick R and B number" and ultimately "[sounded] more like Randy Newman's "Short People".[4] He said, "if the press release says it's faster and rockier it doesn't account for the fact that there are more ballads on this record than any other record."[4] Taylor said that feelings of happiness and love influenced the album's romantic feel.[6] Martin told The Georgia Straight that the group are "afflicted with something akin to musical attention-deficit disorder" and said that the group "get bored quite easily [...] with [their] own records at times". He elaborated by saying that the group aren't "really interested in reproducing the same sound" because they don't find it exciting.[14] Taylor stated Hot Chip "didn't set out to make something with one mood" and that he thought the band's style of "jump[ing] all over the place stylistically" made sense as a record.[4] In an interview with The Georgia Straight, Martin expressed that Hot Chip didn't want to create a "'classic' record that would have a particular sound" as they wanted to make music that was "quite experimental and out-there".[14] Made in the Dark was intended to represent the "whole live sound of the band" and they are "a band as much as originally having been a duo".[4] Lyrics Alexis Taylor The song "Ready for the Floor" contains an allusion to the 1989 film, Batman, with the line, "You're my number one guy". In an interview with The Fader magazine, Taylor said the reference was a result of thinking about the Batman film, which has many things that Taylor is fond of, such as the Prince soundtrack. He commented that sometimes those items "seep into what we're writing about" and said that he likes to reference "in an oblique way". He conjectured that he had included the line to say something to "ev --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html ---
